The city council refused to change the zoning for that property location when UI asked for it. HD WAS interested in that property, not anymore, because the city wanted them to spend millions more on the development of the roads, traffic patterns, etc. They aren't interested in doing all that. When a business has to remain in operation for 5 to 10 years at current costs before seeing $1 profit, doubling those costs makes putting a business in Moscow unattractive. It is not too hard of concept to understand. <br> <br> _DJA<br><br><b><i>Tom Hansen <thansen@moscow.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium)"> <!--[if !mso]> <style> v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:*
